🎥 2003 Mazda 2 1.4 16V (80 HP) | 0-100 | Joe Black

Welcome to a reality test of the budget-friendly 2003 Mazda 2, powered by a 1.4-liter petrol engine producing 80 HP, which costs a mere 700 euros with a massive 290,000 kilometers on the clock. Let's see if this highly worn city hatchback can survive modern traffic and successfully pass our ruthless STAGES!

🔥 STAGE 1: THE DYNAMIC REALITY CHECK
Mazda officially claimed a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 13.9 seconds for this 80-horsepower engine. How much power is left in this unit after covering almost 300,000 kilometers?
*My Dragy measurement (0-100 km/h): 21.3 seconds!* 📉
(A gigantic loss of 7.4 seconds! The vehicle's age and massive mileage have taken their toll, and accelerating this city car to highway speeds now requires angelic patience. Outcome: The car survived the trial, but its dynamics are a thing of the past!).

⛽ STAGE 2: URBAN EFFICIENCY CHECK
*Joe Black Fuel Consumption Test: 8.5 l/100 km.* ⛽
(The manufacturer promised an average fuel consumption of 6.5 l/100 km when the car left the showroom. During our tests, forcing the worn-out engine to constantly work hard resulted in 8.5 liters. Higher fuel consumption is absolutely typical when the driver has to constantly keep the pedal to the metal to keep up with traffic).
